Description

Fresh broccoli, cauliflower, apple, onion, celery, and green onions with dried cranberries, feta cheese and nuts make for a spectacular, healthy salad dress in a lemon honey dressing.

Ingredients

• Dressing:
• 1/4 c. olive or avocado oil
• 3 T. freshly squeezed lemon juice from 1 lemon
• 2 t. honey or maple syrup
• 1 t. garlic powder
• 1/2 t. fine salt
• 1/4 t. black pepper
• 3/4 c. mayonnaise
• 4–5 c. broccoli florets, chopped into bite-sized pieces
• 2 1/2 – 3 c. cauliflower florets, chopped into bite-sized pieces
• 1 medium apple, diced
• 1/2 small red onion, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 2–3 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1/2 c. dried cranberries
• 1/2 c. crumbled feta cheese
• 1/2 c. lightly salted roasted almonds, roughly chopped (or walnuts, pecans, or sunflower seeds)

Steps

1. Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Once combined, add the mayonnaise; continue whisking until smooth and well incorporated, about 2-3 minutes; set aside.
2. Salad: In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, cauliflower, apple, red onion, celery, green onion, dried cranberries, feta cheese, and almonds.
3. Pour the dressing over the salad; toss until everything is well coated. Refrigerate. For the best flavor, let the salad sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes so that the veggies marinate in the dressing.
